#makeShitMonday, in which I have a travel #crochet project...
@mbroome and I are out for a new adventure, and I needed something to keep my hands busy, so I started a new [Fortune's Shawlette](https://www.mooglyblog.com/fortunes-shawlette/) with a stash skein. Simple, portable, and it'll make a fun gift when I'm done!

#MakeShitMonday, #Sugru edition...
I got a new pair of sport sunglasses, and the yellow rubberized part at the end of the temples catches on my hair, and when I have it up in a ponytail, that's a PIA.
I used some black Sugru (moldable silicon rubber) to mold around the end with the catchy bits. Now the temple tips slide smoothly over my hair when putting the sunglasses on or taking them off.
(I was in a rush getting it done last night, so I didn't take any pictures of the process, but here's a picture of the result.)

#makeShitMonday, in which I pivot and tally another FO!
My sister's birthday is coming up next week, so I put the problematic cowl on hold and focused on finishing the #crochet Totoro amigurumi for her...
[This pattern](https://www.deviantart.com/aphid777/art/Mini-Totoro-337092794) is pretty light on detail - basically just stitch counts for each row of each component, with no guidance on assembly. Fortunately, I had the original Totoro I made for @mbroome a couple years ago, as a guide!
I'd made all the little pieces at Convention, and the body went pretty quickly this week. Attaching the appendages isn't difficult, just tedious... I cranked up the My Neighbor Toronto soundtrack for the last bits, and that helped me stay focused. Amazingly, I even found the leftover felt and button-eyes from the first round in my disaster of a craft room, so I didn't have to go re-source them! 🎉
(Apparently I totally failed to document how I added whiskers the first time, so I re-invented that wheel with some waxed-cotton cord, and I think it worked out well...)
This one ended up just a bit smaller than the first one - it's made with the same size hook, but I used one of my nicer crochet hooks and my tension must have been tighter. Good to remember for next time - and I took copious notes on all the other fiddly bits, too. 😊

@cannibal It was a busy week at work, so just some tomatoes from the garden and printing a figurine for a friend.The figurine’s wingspan is about 11 inches.

#MakeShitMonday, in which I cannot catch a break.
My initial plan of making a second #crochet cowl worked, to the extent that I had enough yarn left on the hat-skein to get a good start on a second cowl for @mbroome, which I started more loosely (foundation double-crochet, rather than double-crocheting into a foundation chain) so it would fit over his bigger head.
At which point it became obvious that the Malabrigo single-skein-dye-lots gotcha was going to bite me in the ass. Because the cowl I made from the second skein was distinctly brighter - and of course a better match for the hue of the hat - than the original cowl. And nobody but me would know... But I *would* know.
So I thought, no problem, I'll just give him the cowl I made for me... But the foundation chain was too tight for him to get it on comfortably. So I thought, no problem, I'll just rip out the foundation chain and re-chain the first row with a looser approach... But after multiple laborious hours, when I finally got it re-chained, it was looser - but still not loose enough.
I had an idea for how to rip and re-do the foundation chain *again*, but as @mbroome and I were on our afternoon walk and I was bemoaning my plight, he observed that I didn't seem to be having fun anymore. Which, frankly, I'm not. So I think I'm going to cut my losses and just frog the damn thing and re-do it with the foundation double-crochet... 🤷🏻♀️
Also, everyone's a comedian -
@mbroome: "I'm sorry this is turning into such a hassle!"
Me: "It's okay, I'm just being stubborn about it."
@mbroome: "Hm. And it keeps changing shape. So I guess that makes it... Cowl's Moving Hassle!"
Me: *punches him in the arm* -

@cannibal I got my first tomato of the season from the garden, and kicked off printing a friend’s D&D character. I also made square biscuits for breakfast sandwiches.

#MakeShitMonday, in which I have planned poorly...
We're at the annual National Speleological Society convention this week, so I have *five days* of presentations to attend. Prime #crochet opportunity! And did I bring enough keep-hands-busy material? No, I did not. 🙄
I just finished a beanie and a matching cowl, and I thought they would be one skein apiece, but they're significantly less. I'd love to make another set, but I don't have a scale, so I can't weigh the consumed yarn vs the remaining yarn to decide whether to make both, or just another cowl. So that project is on hold 'til I get home...
I knew that wouldn't last me through the week, so I also threw in the yarn to make a Totoro for my sister... but I didn't bring stuffing. Or the felt and safety eyes for the head/body. Which I didn't realize until I was in the car. So I may just make the ears, arms, feet, and tail, then break the yarn on the hat and start a cowl with the hat-skein remnant, and hope I have enough yarn on the cowl-skein remnant for another hat. Who knew #crochet could be so complicated?
(What, me, overthinking this? Never.)

#MakeShitMonday, mobile radio edition...
I finally got around to adding a mag mount antenna to my car in the last few hours before a big road trip. It's an old, unbranded¹ whip that I got as part of a mixed lot of radio gear at an estate sale last year. The integrated coax cable was long enough to go in through the back hatch, around the back seat, and up next to the driver's seat.
I had previously tested the antenna on VHF (2m) and UHF (70cm) using the main radio in my shack so I knew it worked. While on the road, I successfully used the antenna connected to my Baofeng HT to join a local weekly net in Indiana!
¹ The antenna has a label that says "Mobile Antennas & Access, Burlington, NC". I don't find any references online, so I assume they went out of business and probably never had an online presence. Has anyone heard of them?

#makeShitMonday, in which I actually complete a project!!! 🎉
I decided to take my warping case bottom as an opportunity to learn how to add brims, and it worked out well, modulo my incomplete application of the principle. 😊 I (mostly) added mouse ears - one of them I didn't quite place properly, and it wasn't actually attached to the base. 😬 The three corners with attached ears all adhered nicely - the fourth warped just a little, but it was close enough that I decided it'd be fine once I put the screws in... 😁
And it is!! Board is installed in case, fixed IP is assigned in our DHCP server, box is relocated to a shelf in our #homelab rack, and I can ssh to it. This was all remarkably less painful than I expected!!
(Shout-out to David Cain and his "[Fix One Thing](https://snow-city-media-raptitude.kit.com/8ec669c986)" method, which I really should do a whole separate post about since it's currently rocking my damn to-do list...)

#MakeShitMonday, in which I make something other than crochet, for a change! 😊
I bought a gently-used Jetson Orin Nano (thank you @Viss!) to play with self-hosted whisper, paperless-gpt, etc. There were a couple of nice cases for it on Printables, so I picked one that looked pretty solid and took a whack at it...
The bottom plate had adhesion problems late in the print, started warping, and came entirely unstuck at about 97% completion. Super frustrating! (It's amusing that Octoprint has a "so close" achievement for prints that are canceled after 95%, though - at least I got a good laugh out of that.)
Our printer is in our basement, and we were in & out of both the door to the upstairs and the door to the outside while it was printing, so I'm wondering if that affected the print. I kicked off the upper portion, stayed out of the basement for a few hours, and it came out just fine, so now I'm cargo-culting about basement airflow. 🙄
We spent the weekend up at the New River Gorge, and I forgot to start the filament dryer this morning, so I won't get to try again til tomorrow. Going to bump the bed temp up 5° and hope that fixes it... (And stay out of the basement again! 😁)

#MakeShitMonday, in which I frog the same #crochet project twice... 🙄
I unraveled the entire first pass at the hat, rewound the yarn onto its yarn ball so the kinks could relax, and started over with the second ball.
As usual, I was working on it in the car, listening to a podcast - which must have been more interesting than usual, because I missed a key point in the pattern and ended up making more of a doily than a hat! I was thinking it didn't look quite right, but it took me a lot longer than it should have to realize what was wrong ...
So I ended up frogging 2/3rds of my progress there, too. I guess what I've made this week is a couple of piles of squiggly yarn. 😊
Hopefully third time's the charm?

@cannibal looking good!
I made useful things and questionable things over the weekend. The needles were for making the shade cover. The spiked thing is shredder parts for some terrible jokes.

#MakeShitMonday, organization edition...
I've had a rolling cart sitting around in its box for a while. (I often have to remind myself that just having a thing isn't the useful part.)
Today, as part of my "find the floor" effort in my home office, I put the cart together and then put a bunch of random radio equipment into the drawers of the cart.
I forgot to take a before picture of the mess on the floor, so you'll just have to imagine the 12 square feet (1.1m²) of space that had boxes and bags and random radio stuff.
As I started getting all up in my head thinking about what should go in each drawer, I heard the voice of an organizational guru (@clutterbug_me) telling me to just "Do It Shitty". So I did... and in this case, done is better than perfect.

#MakeShitMonday, in which my #crochet progress, like all things, is transient...
A friend gave me two gorgeous skeins of [Malabrigo Rios](https://malabrigoyarn.com/yarns/rios) in their lovely Sabiduria colorway, so I decided I wanted a matching hat and scarf. Moogly has a cute [beanie and cowl](https://www.mooglyblog.com/?s=Lavender+kisses) set, and we had a roadtrip this past week, so now I have a new hat!
...except that it's just too big. 😑 I only made two of the three rows of edging, and I really kinda want all three rows, but it's already down past my ears. So I think it's time to frog the whole thing and go down a hook size, see how that looks. Win some, lose some... I still love the pattern, though!

#MakeShitMonday, in which I wrap up two projects in one week!
My hack for finishing the edging row on the Branching Out Shawlette worked out exactly as I had hoped... And I'm really happy with the length and drape, so I'm going to skip blocking - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 😇 I'm looking forward to finding an opportunity to wear it out somewhere!
Also, I got the garnballons shipped off to my friend, and she has promised me pics from the end-of-school water balloon fight! I had a partial skein left, and there's really nothing else I want to do with that particular yarn, so I turned the rest of it into balloons and will see if a couple other friends-with-kids might want some.
It's nice to wrap things up! Now to figure out what to do next...

#MakeShitMonday, in which I have a setback and A Plan...
I made great progress on my Branching Out Shawlette - was surprised to find that I had only the edging remaining when we got to the Butler Homestead! We had a drizzly workday Saturday, but a lovely day for a surface dig on Sunday, and I was sitting at the fire chatting with a friend and merrily single-crocheting along... when the yarn ran out.
🎶That's me at the campfire
That's me in a headlamp
Losing at Yarn Chicken🧶🐓🎶I *could* make yet another Russian splice for the last dozen stitches... or I could frog the edging row, size down a hook, and call it done. 😇
Unfortunately, the rest of my hooks were at home, so I couldn't finish it up on the drive home, but I plan to knock it out this week!
